Bookings essential..

Exotically dressed, dramatic in style, often in love with unsuitable men, Edith Sitwell was a memorable personality. She wrote fine poems, insightful biographies and the fabulous English Eccentrics, a book that could well have included her in its pages.

Born into a wealthy family who owned gorgeous Renishaw Hall, Edith had a troubled childhood, but enjoyed close relationships with her brothers Osbert and Sacheverall, both of whom became writers too.
